Fiat Chrysler is teaming up with self-driving tech startup Aurora to get robo-trucks on the road
The companies said they signed a memorandum of understanding in which Aurora, led by three stars of autonomous tech R&D, will supply its self-driving platform to FCA, including computers, sensors, software and data services to enable vehicles to drive themselves safely.
The companies aren’t providing financial details of the arrangement, or confirming if the Italian-U.S. automaker is investing in Mountain View, California-based Aurora. They also aren't saying how soon robotic trucks and vans developed from the project will be deployed. “As part of FCA’s autonomous vehicle strategy, we will continue to work with strategic partners to address the needs of customers in a rapidly changing industry,” Fiat Chrysler CEO Mike Manley said in a statement. “Aurora brings a unique skill set combined with advanced and purposeful technology that complements and enhances our approach to self-driving.”
